Answer: V5 - V6
Extra:
1. Left anterior descending artery (45%): infarction of the anterior wall and anterior septum of the LV
2. Right coronary artery: infarction of the posterior wall, posterior septum, and papillary muscles** of the LV
3. Left circumflex artery: infarction of the lateral wall of the LV
**papillary muscle rupture may often cause mitral regurgitation
